Ok. Not updating their operating hours aside: If you want a sandwich that actually looks better than the "picture" These guys do it right. Get the spicy chicken, western style. Trust me. read more

Tried the Sonoran hot dog today, it was an absolute unit of a hot dog, insanely delicious. I got it without guacamole due to an allergy, and this thing was absolutely smothered in extra crisp bacon and grilled onions. I love the mustard, really sharp with the perfect tang. Service is always great through the drive thru and always worth the wait. Thanks again Blue Jay Burger, you guys consistently kill it with the quality, consistency, portions and price. read more

Blue Jay Burger - Double burger - Burgers Near Me - Blue Jay, California

If I could give - stars I would. I'd rather eat McDonalds than this place. Rude ppl. Presentation was absurd. Fries were probably a week old, And all it was; a Philly cheese steak sandwich.... Exactly. It was horrible experience. Never ever going back. read more

I had absolutely no idea this town existed until we took the back roads from Big Bear Lake back to Los Angeles a few weeks ago. When we entered the small town of Blue Jay I was pretty excited since I'm a life long Toronto Blue Jays fan and a lover of small blue birds in general. Almost as soon as you enter the town you also drive by Blue Jay Burger and that was enough for us to pull the car into the drive through and take a gander at the menu. This place looks like a pretty typical fast food establishment with burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, and the beverages to help wash them all down. Now, I don't remember the name of the sandwich I ordered but it doesn't seem to be on the restaurants website so I'll just throw out a a description. I didn't order a burger, I ordered a sort of stank sandwich between a burger patty and the sandwich itself was pretty solid. The sandwich had lettuce and tomato on it and did the job. The french fries were also solid, being lightly crispy and having solid flavour. The funniest thing I ate at this place was the chicken nuggets which were ALMOST indentical to a McDonald's McNugget from the shape to the flavour, but hey, no complaints from this guy. Overall, I'm sure Blue Jay Buger is a great place to have if you live in a town like Blue Jay. This fast food shop offers some local community flavour instead of the copy and paste chains most places have and that's certainly not a bad thing. Although this wasn't the best of anything I've ever had, it was a solid spot for a quick lunch before we were back on the road. Is it worth stopping by? I think so, it's always nice to grab some food off the beat and path and experience some small town flavour. read more

Blue Jay Burger - Steak sandwich and nuggets. - Burgers Near Me - Blue Jay, California

The cowboy burger is absolutely amazing and they have nice thick steak fries that are delicious!

4/1/26 @ 8:17pm Drive through is closed, doors locked. 1 table of customer eating inside. Apparently they close at 9pm. Isn't it illegal to lock doors while customers are inside? Thought it was an April food joke but I guess not? Update: looking at other reviews and seems like they like to close early. That's fine...just update your business hours? read more

Stopped by the drive-thru to check out the burgers. We both had the cowboy burgers; Onion rings, bacon, cheese, BBQ sauce, and small fries, it was $27 ouch!!! Burger was not seasoned, tasted bland, similar to a frozen patty from a flat top, also undercooked with pink in the middle. Not bad, not good, but not great, definitely not worth $27 bucks! Maybe $10? Doesn't take much to improve a burger folks, and for that price? Come on now. read more

Blue Jay Burger - Cowboy burger - Burgers Near Me - Blue Jay, California

First time in lake arrowhead. We were all very hungry and decided to stop by a burger joint. Burgers were amazing! I expected a frozen flat patty. It was huge and it was not frozen. Looks handmade. I love the quality as well. My husband ordered fish tacos and he loved it as well. I still think about how delicious my burger was. It's too bad it's far from where I live but definitely will make an excuse to book a vacation in lake arrowhead just to eat their burger again! Sorry no picture. It did not have a chance. lol. read more

Greasy food and overpriced no flavor. Looks like they bought chicken patties from the store. Disgusting food. Taquitos are frozen out of a box. Nasty read more

A real treat! Burgers were fantastic- juicy, made well and the brioche bun was a bonus. Onion rings, fries, cookies and cream and coffee milkshakes were also a delight. read more

This burger place has changed hands several times since McDonalds gave up its lease on the building. I wrote a review one year ago, but this past summer I noticed that it was under new management once again. I always order the Beyond veggie burger and have now been there 3 times so they must be doing something right because I usually only try it once a year when the "Under new management" sign goes up. Great service and much better lighting than last year. read more

My first time ever! And I had the Aloha Burger OMG! It literally was the best burger I've ever had! I went through the drive thru and the service was amazing and their fries are incredible! They make everything from scratch, the place looks incredibly clean! Decorated very cute! I will definitely recommend this place to all family and friends read more

It was the worst ambiance if any restaurant ever. The food was ok, but they don't care about their customers at all.

This is a small cozy place. The restaurant is very clean, and the people are friendly. They have a variety of different types of food. If you are a breakfast person 24-7 this is the spot for you. They have breakfast all day. I have had the Aloha Chicken burger. It is full of flavor and cooked to perfection, the burgers are spot on great seasoning and taste. The fries are seasoned fried which are crunchy and delicious. Onion rings are not greasy, they are crisp and crunchy. The crown jewel of this place is the Cali Burrito I can't brag enough about it. It is a carne asada burrito with a homemade sauce they make and put on it adding a lot of flavor. It also come with some of those seasoned fries inside. This burrito is fire . I highly recommend it you won't be disappointed. read more

We were in Blue Jay for breakfast and found Blue Jay Burger their were 12 of us The service was terrific and the breakfast combo was fantastic Highly recommend them for a fast breakfast and great food read more

I tried this place for the first time this month and already had it twice! Im surprised by all the reviews-not sure if things have change now bc its under new management ? I usually order a cheeseburger with a side of yellow chilis and my husband has the bbq bacon burger. My husband said he hasn't had a good burger like that in a long time! Honestly can see myself ordering from here 2x a month. So happy I tried this place. read more

Frequent here during work, enjoy the food and hospitality every time. You won't go wrong with the number 1#. Best asada fries in town as well, made fresh. read more

I ordered a cheeseburger and took one bite before realizing the hamburger meat was way undercooked, like they just slapped it on the grill to brown it. Hamburger meat NEEDS to be cooked all the way through otherwise you can get really sick. I would stay away from this place and definitely don't take your kids here. E Coli poisoning from undercooked ground beef is no joke especially for kids. Hopefully the owners correct this and follow FDA guidelines before someone gets really sick! read more

We just stopped in for fries and shakes. The shakes were made fresh with real ice cream but were somehow off. We didn't finish them (making up for it by going to Cedar Glen today). Fries were good, but nothing special. Lightly seasoned. read more

Delicious and freshly made to order. The fries are fantastic with a fried coating of some sort. Burger was hot and seemed homemade. The bun was nicely toasted and the lettuce and tomato were crispy and fresh. It took a little time in line but it was so worth it. We added bacon to the burger the combo totaled $15 same as Carl's Jr and soooo much better. We'll be back. read more

We stayed at Dogwood Campground over this last weekend... and we grabbed a quick dinner at this restaurant. We were not disappointed. It was delicious Burgers were great, and the fries are VERY good. The girls at the counter were super nice too. We liked it so much, we went back for breakfast burritos the next morning. We highly recommend !! Oh yah, if you eat out on the patio, you can bring your doggie. read more

I adore this place. I've gone serval times but always forget to write a review. I sub a beyond patty get it dry and no cheese add pineapple and jalapeños it's the perfect veggie burger. The patty is crispy and all around good (some places that use the beyond pattys are just gross and seem to be raw in the middle, that's not the case here) The onion rings are delicious! And so are the Churros I had low expectations for those but they were great, although I personally did not need the ice cream I'm sure other individuals would love it. You could complain that it's a bit overpriced, but it's the convince of a drive though, In a small mountain town and they have vegetarian (maybe vegan) options which makes it it worth the money for me Plus it's NOT a huge cooperation like McDonald's (that's an extra win in my book) The service is great and the food is even better. Definitely one of my go to places especially since it's open "late" (9pm) for mountain standards read more

Located where the old McDonalds used to be (across from the movie theater), Blue Jay Burgers is a Drive Thru restaurant but they also have seating both inside and outside. We parked and walked in and ordered at the counter and then ate inside. It was clean inside. What stood out to me the most was how nice, friendly and helpful all of the staff were. We really had excellent service! The food was good. Standard burgers with lettuce, tomato and pickle with the thousand island type sauce. They were good. I didn't care for the french fries because they're the ones with the extra fried breading type around them that comes off on your fingers and taste greasy to me - but it wasn't like the fries were bad - I just don't like this style of french fries. We got sodas but I want to try the milkshakes next time. They have kids meals and if you want a cheeseburger the meal is only $1 less than an adult meal which isn't good value and also the burger was huge so my kids don't really need to eat the same portion size as me. Basically the difference in the kids meal was that you could choose apple juice or orange juice instead of a soda. My kids loved their kids meal modified to be cheeseburgers. My husband got the Cowboy BBQ burger and liked it a lot. The Blue Jay Burger is actually a "burger" with chicken instead of beef so like a chicken sandwich. I'll probably try that next time and the Hot & Spicy Chicken sandwich looks good too. Overall the food was good enough and the service was outstanding! read more

Blue Jay Burgers is finally here! As a mountain local and avid visitor of Hortencias, I was excited to hear about a new Drive Thru Burger place up the mountain. The only drive thru place I can think of in the area is McDonalds in Crestline. I was warmly welcomed when I walked in. I ordered a Strawberry Milkshake and it was done before I was done paying! The girls at the front were on top of things! I was so excited to get my shake that I accidentally forgot my debit card at the counter haha. After a quick shopping trip to Jensens, I decided to come back around to the drive thru and there were a good 10 cars in the line. By the time I got to the order screen, a girl came out with a tablet to start taking orders from the rest of the cars in line. Due to all of the hype and opening rush, it took me about 25 minutes from when I first entered the drive thru with 7 cars ahead of me. As 6pm approached, the line continued to get longer as cars wrapped into the street and down the block. As a tip, be patient as they work out the kinks and logistics. I'd highly recommend walking in to order due. I believe they'll even take your order to where you're sitting, which is a big plus! In addition to the Strawberry Shake, I ordered a Jalapeño Cheese Burger Combo with Fries and a Drink. My review of the food is as follows: - Strawberry Shake - Made fresh to order. It was a bit over mixed/liquidy for my taste. Gotta love thick and creamy shakes where you are almost creating a black-hole trying to suck on the straw. The flavor is great with big chunks of strawberries. - Jalapeño Burger - The MVP of the meal. Deliciously made with jalapeños, sriracha mayo and a juicy angus patty. I saved some leftovers for my wife at home. Despite being gluten-free, she separated the buns like Moses did the Red Sea and she devoured the burger. - Fries - I was pleasantly surprised that the fries were lightly seasoned with spices. They are thick-cut fries but have great texture. My only grip is that they were a bit cold when I received them. - Ranch - Good solid ranch overall. I prefer a thicker consistency, but can't complain. Pairs well with ketchup for a dipping sauce. Overall I am happy with my experience at Blue Jay Burgers. Their presence is a welcome sight for foodies in the area and visitors alike. I will definitely be back and will continue to support local businesses! read more

On the mountain, your choices- especially for food are limited. Most places do fair job but you get used to lowering your standards to get by. Not the case here at Blue Jay Burger. The burgers are amazing, the fries are out of this world and the prices are un-beatable. Blue Jay is hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had and I have been, and plan to continue to, visit them every chance I get. I recommend the jalapeño burger if you want a little kick with your burg, otherwise their regular is just can't miss goodness. The chicken sandwich is also right up there among their best offerings but let me tell you what you definitely want to do. Get some fries. Lots of theM. Order an extra side of fries because when you have them, you'll want more and in the end you'll end up not having enough. Crispy, fresh and hot. What else could you want from a fry. read more

One of my favorite burger joints on the mountain. The food is beyond delicious and the employees are always so friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

Their shutters and fries are so good and we savored each bite. The server was friendly and accommodating. One suggestion is that they need more help working in the kitchen since we waited one hour for the food to arrive. This is my second time there and it was the same thing, the long wait in between the order and the foods arrival to the table. read more

I went in to give it a try since they changed management, and couldn't be happier! The burgers were great and made just how everyone wanted them. I'm looking forward to trying some of the new menu items next time I go. I know they had a rough patch, but it seems to be in the past. The service was fast and friendly and the new staff was proud of their product. The dining room was clean and tidy, and the outdoor seating is nice. Support your local burger joint with me! read more

Great place for burger & fries! We stopped in for lunch and all got combo meals (burger, fries, drink). The food was excellent and all the burgers were huge! They gave us a generous serving of fries. Great place to get a classic burger! Indoor and outdoor seating is available, and it was clean. We all enjoyed Blue Jay Burger, and recommend it! read more

I was really excited to try this place but it is OK. My favorite thing was the French fries, I had the jalapeño burger and it was average, the chocolate milk shake also average. There are better burger places on the mountain. read more

Blue Jay Burger - a burger with lettuce and onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Blue Jay, California

This place has bomb foooood!!! Everything made fresh and the guy at the window is super nice ! Way better than McDonald's which used to be here .... Nice upgrade . Fries are delicious so are the shakes and burgers . That's all I've tried so far but bet that everything here is ! read more

Ordered the veggie burger in the drive thru, and it took SO long to get!! And they charge an additional $3 to make it a veggie patty, so the overall price was pretty high for what you get. The fries came out cold, which was confusing since we waited so long (you'd think they'd be fresh). I'll try the place again to see if they were just having a bad day, because the veggie burger isn't bad! read more

Burnt burnt burnt. I wouldn't even feed this to my worst enemy. Taste like black burnt charcoal. The burger doesn't even contain the items stated in the recipe. It's supposed to have an angus burger patty and egg and bacon. Instead I got to sausage patties, burnt eggs, 2 slices of bacon, and burnt bread when I specifically asked for lettuce wrap. Whoever the cook is should be fired immediately for serving trash. That much burnt is literally inedible and probably even poisonous. Never coming back. If it was my restaurant I wouldn't dare let food like this be served. Going to go get my stomach pumped just to be on the safe side. read more

My favorite mountain burger joint. The service can be slow if they're slammed but it's worth the wait. Eating outside in the mountain air is a plus! We always come here when we're in the area. Yum yum!! read more

Food is delicious, and gas its own signature taste, which really stands out! Spicy chicken burger is amazing! Must try the Steak sandwich, and the Philly cheese steak sandwich! You will be hooked! Friendly service, comfort food, with convenient drive thru, truly a blue Jay Hidden Gem, here in arrowhead! Highly recommended! read more

It's an okay place to eat nothing more nothing less. This spot used to be a McDonald's and believe me this is WAY better than that trash lol but it's not THE best burger spot ya get me? If you're up this way and want a quick bite the drive thru got us in and out rather quick so points for that. 1 burger by itself 1 chicken sandwich combo was like $16 and some bucks. An okay price but for the ticket I paid probably won't be back often. Not a bad local spot to try but nothing to drive OUT OF THE WAY for is my input. read more

Get ready to wait 30 minutes for your food. Ordered a very simple meal, 2 burger combos and 2 kids nugget meals. First their speaker is absolutely garbage can't hear from the drive thru at all. The price of the burgers is up there for a combo at 13.99 and the kids combo at 10.99 (crazy) The quality of the food wasn't great, the burger was soggy and the patty wasn't fresh. This is one of those locations to stop by if there isn't anywhere else to go. I will say the portion size of the fries was very generous and your typical fries nothing exciting read more

For $18.95, I expected them to at least pluck the feathers off of the bluejay instead of just slapping it on a bun... gross!
